Christianity’s "High Horse" ?
Frontpagemag.com ^ | February 10, 2015 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 02/10/2015 4:25:04 AM PST by Biggirl

In his National Prayer Breakfast speech last week, President Barack Obama said: “And lest we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ. … So this is not unique to one group or one religion.”

Poor Barry. He fell out of his high chair as a child directly on his poor little head.

Ah, the legal defense of tu quoque: "You did it first!"

All the maturity of a six-year-old at day care...

I just wasted precious time watching FOX with Breit Bair, Greta, BOR, Megan Kelly and lastly Hannety. Interestlingly ALL of them asking their guests WHY Barry Soetoro will NOT mention the words Islam extremist, or Islam terrorists. Even their guests sidestep their questions. However, the answer is so simple and evident, because HE is a Muzzie himself, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who visited the W.H. two days ago incognito!!!

That has become the democrats typical defense - THE OTHER GUY DID IT TOO!

Obama:

“Muslims are justified in burning innocent people alive because I believe Christians were disproportionally harsh to muslims 1,000 years ago.”

P.J. O’Rourke has defined the problem:

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding,
ill disciplined, despotic, and useless.

Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats.”

Oh man, I saw a huge number of teens in school just like this description.

THE PRINCIPLE OF OCCAM'S RAZOR SIMPLIFIED:

The simplest answer is the most likely.

If there are several possible but unknown ways that something might have happened, the way that uses the fewest guesses is probably the right one.

Because contempt for Western evils is noble, while contempt for non-Western, especially Islamic, evils is “to get on a high horse.”

At the core of liberal belief is a hatred of Western civilization.

Off topic but did you notice when he said:

“Absolutely,” the president responded eagerly, “and I don’t blame the media for that. What’s the famous saying about local newscasts, right? ‘If it bleeds, it leads,’ right?”

Local newscast? They take their marching orders from their propaganda machine the MSM.

The real story, Barry, is that you reacted to the burning of a man alive by attacking Christianity.

What could be more outrageous than insulting Christians at a prayer breakfast?

God Bless folks like Denis Prager and the Rev. Franklin Graham who call out Mr. Obama on these “lies” and “half-truths”.

At the core of liberal belief is a hatred of Western civilization.

But let's see any one of those (American) liberals attempt to survive outside of it.

Obama has a romanticized vision of Islam - it's to be expected from someone whose father and was Muslim and who lived under an Islamic system as a child, but NOT as an adult. Islam for Obama has all the charm of a cult that he's been bless NOT to live in...
